HRA Exemption on rent paid in foreign on foreign salary, Income Tax

[Vikas Aggarwal]

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Can u please short out my this query, a resident of india is in a job for approx 2 month in UK & getting salary & HRA for the FY 2012-13, can rent paid by him for this period in foreign during his employment in UK liable for HRA Exemption india at the time of calculation of taxation income in india. (Salary recd in UK treated as Indian salary & charged tax as per indian tax laws).

 

Thanks & regards,

To my mind section 10(13A) does not make difference between rent paid in India or abroad.

My case has been picked up in scrutiny by Tax department on this relief and they need clarification.
